School ethos & values

We are often asked “What makes d’Overbroeck’s different from other schools?”. The answer lies in our shared values and a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere, where the individual is key and laughter is an essential part of everyday life.

d'Overbroeck's is...

Inquisitive
A strong spirit of intellectual enquiry is present throughout the school, and our committed teachers encourage academic ambition and challenge students to stretch themselves. We expect high standards of commitment and effort from our students and have a track record of strong GCSE and A-Level results. Our staff work closely with each student to make sure they are getting the advice and support they need, with a healthy balance of freedom and structure. Our school is high-achieving and academically rigorous, but not at the expense of fun, laughter and enjoyment. Students are encouraged to be curious, to explore, and to think independently.
Caring
d'Overbroeck’s is a family-like environment that nurtures excellence. Small classes enable every student to get the attention they need from our highly qualified teachers in a supportive and encouraging environment. Teaching is interactive to generate enthusiasm for the subject, sound academic skills, and effective working habits – while at the same time providing a thorough preparation for public examinations.
Dynamic
Every year, a large number of UK and international students choose to join us which contributes to the buzz and energy of the school. d'Overbroeck’s is a place that is always evolving. We are always open to feedback, change, and new ideas so that we keep pace with what is best for our students. We are committed to innovation, embracing change and new technologies that enable best-practice in our school, and our approach is to also keep the future in mind so that our students get the skills they need for their next steps.
Fun
We believe that happiness and laughter bring education to life and we strive to bring this into the classroom every day. Our students thrive on this approach and it makes for a very enjoyable learning experience for all.

“Coming to d’Overbroeck’s is one of the best decisions I ever made. It supports students and helps them to grow as people. It encourages individualism and prepares you for university effectively.”

- Sixth Form Student

“Positive vibes which encourage students to be themselves. Welcoming, dynamic and modern thinking yet retains core education values.”

- Sixth Form Parent

“d’Overbroeck’s is different to other schools in the best way possible.”

On Friday 12 May, our personal development staff prepared well-being sessions for our 11i students ahead of the start of the core exam season. They chose from various sessions, including creative Lego building, ‘around the world’ table tennis, daisy chains, meditation, a walk to university park and maths games. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day and they very much enjoyed being outdoors for most of these sessions. The 11is have been working incredibly hard in the run up to their examinations and appreciated the opportunity to have some fun and relax for a small part of their day. We encourage students to consider their mental health and to always ensure that they make some time to have fun and relax with friends. This is a very important ingredient to achieving success. 🌼 Find out more about our International School: https://www.doverbroecks.com/international-school-oxford/ @NordAngliaEducation @muddystilettos @redkitedaysguide #atdoverbroecks #studywithus #OxfordSchools #education #learning #independentschool #schools #teaching #school #students #teachers #oxford #UKindependentschools #UKeducation #secondaryschool #sixthform #InternationalStudents #InternationalSchool #InternationalEducation #InternationalTeachers #GlobalEducation #GCSE #IGCSE #NordAngliaEducation #UKboardingschools Lightbox link for post with description On Friday 12 May, our personal development staff...

🌟 Careers Fair Success! 🌟 The Sixth Form was buzzing with excitement during our incredible Careers Fair! 🎉 The event was filled with engaging workshops, inspiring talks, a fantastic lineup of stands, and valuable networking opportunities. Students in attendance were able to attend talks and workshops, build relationships with former d'Overbroeck's students and industry professionals, explore industries and study options, and learn about key employability skills. Many of our alumni were there to speak with our students about what they're doing now – including Lina, who left The International School three years ago but flew over from Rome just to attend the event! @NordAngliaEducation @UKboardingschools @BSAboarding @muddystilettos @redkitedaysguide #atdoverbroecks #studywithus #OxfordSchools #education #learning #independentschool #schools #teaching #school #students #teachers #oxford #UKindependentschools #UKeducation #secondaryschool #sixthform #NordAngliaEducation #educationmatters #edchat #StudentSuccess #CareersFair #UKboardingschools Lightbox link for post with description 🌟 Careers Fair Success! 🌟 The Sixth Form...

We are excited to invite you to the International School’s GCSE Art Exhibition on Thursday 8 June from 4-6 pm at d'Overbroeck's Arts Centre. This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible creativity and hard work of our talented Art students. Over the course of this academic year, 11i GCSE Art students have developed 2 large-scale projects, covering themes such as ‘Leftovers’, ‘Wounded Landscapes’, ‘Journey’, ‘The News’ and ‘Isolation’, amongst others. Students have used these to initiate a personal investigation, working across a wide and unconventional range of materials, leading to exciting outcomes. Students have often made links and references to their hometowns and countries, reflecting on aspects of their own cultures. This creates a vibrant, personal, and very global-minded exhibition, where they each share highlights of their journey. Everyone is welcome to attend this event and show their support for our budding artists – but please make sure to book. It will be a fantastic opportunity to view a wide range of artwork, including paintings and mixed media pieces, all created by our talented International School students. So, mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable evening of art and creativity. We can't wait to see you there!

In their #Science lessons recently, our Year 7s have been looking at how photosynthesis is essential to life on Earth, and how the energy that plants trap from the sun is transferred through the food chain. They have looked at the interaction between species and then made some amazing posters on the life cycles of ocean species! Here are some of their lovely posters.
